GP Investments

GP Investments is a permanent-capital private equity firm and one of the pioneering institutional private equity managers in Latin America, focused on control and joint-control investments in established companies with growth and operational improvement potential. The firm invests across approximately 15 sectors, including industrials, healthcare services, retail, logistics, real estate, technology, hospitality, telecommunications, utilities, education, restaurants, consumer goods, and oil and gas, targeting companies with annual revenues exceeding $100 million and committing an average investment ticket of $100 million to $250 million, with internal limits restricting exposure to no more than 20 to 35 percent of capital in any single company or sector. Transaction types include control buyouts, joint-control acquisitions, growth capital investments, and direct real estate investments in residential, office, and retail assets, with exits executed through trade sales, IPOs, block trades, and follow-on offerings. GP Investments operates on a permanent capital structure rather than fixed-life fund cycles, allowing the firm to hold investments without forced exit timelines and to work closely alongside management teams over extended holding periods. The firm became the first publicly listed private equity company in Latin America following its 2006 initial public offering and has raised more than $5 billion from global investors since inception. Founded in 1993, the firm is headquartered in Hamilton, Bermuda, with additional offices in São Paulo, Brazil, New York, and London, United Kingdom.
